Bruce Pennington Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 Very cool, Matt! Was it a "chance" find, or something you were searching for? Quote

matthewbrice Posted September 21, 2019 Author Report Posted September 21, 2019 This is the second Imperial Household dirk I have owned. Amazing and rare daggers. —Matt St. Croix Blades Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted September 22, 2019 Report Posted September 22, 2019 For those not on Warrelics, I thought I'd post this link. Nick Komiya uncovered a document about non-standardized Navy Police Dirks. Prior to 1891, when the standard was set, they were up to personal taste and designs varied greatly. The post originator shows one that seemed to have a navy dirk in a police saya, but there were things not right about the saya, too. Nick found out why! http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/Japanese-militaria/unknown-Japanese-dirk-745042/ A shot of the dirk: Quote
